District of Gelnica

The Hnilec River defines the setting of the District of Gelnica — its narrow valley and the wooded ridges of the Slovak Ore Mountains concentrate settlements along a historic east–west corridor. In eastern Slovakia’s Košice Region, former mining communities lie between extensive forests and upland roads. Gelnica, the district town, developed as a medieval mining centre; the ruins of Gelnica Castle stand above the town as a reminder of that past. Local routes lead through small settlements and a landscape shaped by ore extraction, forestry and mountain terrain.
